Testing Algorithm

Testing begins with screening tests for drugs of abuse.
Positives are confirmed and quantitated by definitive methods (gas
chromatography-mass spectrometry for barbiturates, benzodiazepines,
cocaine and metabolites, phencyclidine, and tetrahydrocannabinol
metabolite) at an additional charge. Amphetamines that screen
positive will be quantified with liquid chromatography-tandem mass
spectrometry at an additional charge.
